In this winter vacation, I was lucky enough to read the third volume of Tao Xingzhi's Complete Works. As a great educator and thinker in modern China, Mr. Tao Xingzhi advocated and practiced the education of love with his wise vision and unique insights. He loves education, schools and students, and calls students and schools "lovers", which is refreshing and enlightens me greatly.
First, hold a heart and go without a blade of grass.
For our teachers, choosing education means choosing dedication. Although I just joined the teaching staff, I am no stranger to the hardships of being a teacher. Some people compare the teacher to a gardener, but "the gardener's sweat shines on the green leaves, and the teacher's sweat results in his heart." The gardener's dream is often a flower fragrance, a leaf shadow, a teacher's dream, and also a sweet smile and the sound of books. ""Real education is an activity from soul to soul. Only from the heart can we reach the depths of the soul. "Without the blending of heart and heart, how can there be the transmission of love and affection? Without love, there is no education. " If you put your life in the students' life, and put your life and your students' life in public life, this is the bounden duty of a teacher. "Tao Xingzhi carried out cultural and educational activities under extremely difficult conditions in order to let the public master cultural knowledge.
Second, seek truth and know how to be a real person.
Tao Xingzhi has a famous saying: "A thousand teachers teach people to seek truth, and ten thousand teachers learn to be a man", which requires our teachers to educate students to be realistic and pragmatic, to teach in a down-to-earth manner, and to educate people diligently.
On the question of how our teachers seek truth, Mr. Tao put forward clear requirements. He said: "A first-class professor has two elements: one is to have insight; Second, I am willing to tell the truth, dare to refute lies and not tell lies. " Now, for every teacher, in order to truly become a "real person", in addition to having extensive knowledge and pursuing scientific spirit, it is more important to have the determination to stick to the truth, that is, to have noble professional ethics and use their "true love" to maintain and spread "true knowledge".
Mr. Tao said: "The occupation of teachers is' teaching thousands of things and teaching people to seek truth'". To teach people to seek truth, teachers must first be a "real person" who insists on justice and is down-to-earth. Seeking truth and being pragmatic, Mr. Tao has set a brilliant example for us. From taking off his suit and putting on his shoes, from a university professor to a primary school principal, from public education to national disaster education, from anti-Japanese war education to life education, all these show that he is "trying his best to drive me away."
Today, with the development of quality education, some of our teachers say one thing and do another, which seriously deviates from the concept of quality education. Some open classes and demonstration classes have become false performances. Some teachers are like TV presenters in class, pursuing skills excessively, and taking form for the sake of form, which is divorced from the content of teaching materials and teaching requirements. It looks lively on the surface, but after laughing, the students have little effect; In the teaching of some courses, students are often asked to discuss in class, which is called implementing the requirements of the new curriculum standard, but in fact, students with strong learning ability do everything, while students with poor learning ability sit on the sidelines, and students' cooperative learning actually becomes a false form; When we educate students, we are far away from life, which is a serious problem. We only look at the process, regardless of the result, not the actual result. False acts of self-deception can be seen everywhere. Only those who are cultivated by truth can become virtuous and useful to society. Without realistic education, we can't cultivate the living who are true, good and beautiful in any case.
Third, life is education.
"Life is education" is the core of Tao Xingzhi's life education theory. So what is "life education"? Mr. Tao Xingzhi pointed out: "Life education is the original, independent and necessary education of life. The fundamental meaning of education is to change life. Life is always like this, that is, life always contains the meaning of education. "
Since life education has existed in human society, life is education, and the so-called "education is what you live"; A good life is a good education, and a bad life is a bad education. "He also pointed out that" life education is innate and walks with life. Graduation is only when you go to the coffin. "Life education emphasizes that education should be life-centered, opposes traditional education being book-centered, and thinks that education that is not life-centered is death education. Life education is produced on the basis of criticizing that traditional education is divorced from the reality of life, and it is the opposite of pure knowledge education.
After reading Mr. Tao Xingzhi's words, I have a deeper understanding and understanding of his famous educational saying "Life is education". He raised life education to such a high level, which shocked people, shocked by his incisiveness and profundity, and lamented the foresight of educators. Isn't this the quality education we are advocating now?
Today, when we are studying the new curriculum concept, developing school-based curriculum and studying effective teaching, we look back at Mr. Tao Xingzhi's words. Is it far-sighted? Or coincidence? At the same time of shock, I want to think and learn more. Learn about educators' educational thoughts in learning, integrate theoretical and practical research in learning, and improve yourself in learning.
Humans need education because they are never satisfied with reality; Education itself means transcending reality, and the mission of education is always so lofty. Today, in the great era of China's modernization, let us seriously study Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational theory, carry forward the banner of quality education and innovative education, and cultivate outstanding students with all-round development, excellent academic performance, broad vision and physical and mental health, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future of our country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
